“I march because as a Muslim, a woman and a person of color, the incoming administration has targeted my community in multiple and intersectional ways,” said CAIR-SFBA Executive Director Zahra Billoo. “What we need right now is to send a clear message that women’s rights are human rights and that we will work together across communities to defend and protect each other. The march organizers have done a phenomenal job planning the event and CAIR is encouraging members of the Muslim community to attend in Washington and across the country.”
